You sit here with a loss but a big part of me from a coaching perspective sees how far these players have come in a short space of time." Aye, from 3rd to 15th. 3 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, who is playing the best they've player right now? Everyone is well below their best imo. Iorfa was in part to blame for the first goal, hardly solid, he has it in him every game to switch off at vital moments, he needs some leadership around him, imho.

Taximark Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Alex Hunt didnt have any impact when he came on, he is a young lad that should only be coming on when we are winning comfortably not a 0-0. Our callapse against WBA and Swansea after playing well gives me no comfort at all like it does others, infact it concerns me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Same old explanations... He doesn't need to appear live, just send them a video.. what is being done to improve things.. why should we be optimistic.. it's same old, same old... It's his job to get the strikers to commit and have belief.. they had very little even in the decent first half... In every game we wait for the inevitable cluster at the back and we have to listen to the old 'we're frustrated' garbage. As fans we've been frustrated for the best part of 30 years now and we've had a bellyful of it. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iorfa had to go to imo. The men behind him were marked and Murphy could have cut out the ball across, but pulled out of it. I will say that when Iorfa started to go wide, the alarm bells did start ringing, but that was only because he and Borner are the only competent players we have defensively on the pitch. But that's Monk's fault, so.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full fathom five Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 How is De Cruz making a living as a footballer and why is Monk picking him??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they've all come a long way. Won't be back in time for tea either. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 11 minutes ago, Castleford Owl said: I agree that we should have had something out of the game, but I base that more on the fact that Swansea are also pretty cr@p too. And yet they are 8th. Forest, Millwall, Cardiff, Bristol City, Swansea....all fairly plop. Season after season - you don’t have to be amazing to get into the play-offs. Well-drilled, driven, and moderately consistent and you are there. Next year Rodney. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of play is very good and the players deserve credit, but the most important is getting points. We’ve been punished heavily for mistakes made # It's very frustrating but we just don't have the quality in front of goal, fletch is a massive loss imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 The Hunt one was a strange sub. I assumed Lee was injured, but then Hunt ends up playing in the holding role where Bannan was having a decent game. Monk's options are pretty awful atm, but he doesn't help himself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you reckon he said anything like "Wipe one of their players out again in the six yard box, give the ball away, waste chances and then we'll all have a nice cup of tea and go home"? 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably Hunt or the “vital squad member” Pelupessy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It astounds me that some think half time is regroup, motivating talk, and nothing changes except the players are now more up for it so the second half will be the same but better...

I said it’s like watching a film with an ending you hate, over and over and over and sormehow each time you watch it you think the ending will be different 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
